LASAG is a national group of Local Authority Safety Advisors & Officers, that networks and share information in order to develop best practice in Safety, Health & Welfare at Work in the Local Authority Sector.
The primary aims of LASAG are:
- To develop National Safety Policies and Procedures for the Local Authority sector;
- To promote and support the development and implementation of best practice in safety, health and welfare, through the sharing of knowledge, experience and expertise and thus to raise the standard of health and safety throughout all Local Authorities;
- To encourage and facilitate effective communications, including the sharing of information, knowledge, skills and best practice;
- To maximise best use of existing resources, such as the LASAG website, to progress health and safety in the workplace, and to promote a consistent approach based on best practice and continual improvement;
- To develop and progress working partnerships and / or agreements with other relevant groupings where such could contribute to any of the above.
